The majority of patients can collect their medicines from the dispensary immediately after seeing the doctor. However, people who live less than a mile from a chemist will be given a written prescription, as there are rules that prevent us from dispensing to these patients. Any chemist

can be used to dispense this written prescription.

If medicine is required during a home visit, the doctor will give the necessary information about collecting the medicine.

Where medicines are needed on an ongoing basis, the Doctor will set up a Repeat Prescription List, a copy of which will be attached to your prescription. For more information regarding Ordering Repeat Prescriptions see below.

Every six months a doctor will review the list and re-authorise it. This may lead to a request for you to make an appointment for a review.

Please feel free to discuss your list with a Dispenser if you have any concerns.
